Deco Delight

Here's something a bit different for my, an art deco card.  I picked up the Papermania stamp in the Hobby Craft sale for £2, I have to say, I really enjoyed colouring this one, which I've done with my Promarkers.
After colouring I went nuts with the glitter!  I used Glamour Dust and fine glitter in red and black, as well as Anita's 3D Gloss on the top section of her dress over the glittering to create that heavily sequined shimmer that almost looks wet.  I stuck on a few clear gems for good measure as well, there's no such thing as too much bling!  The sentiment is from the same stamp set, I love the deco font.
I kept the layout very simple as the image is really big, almost filling the 5x7 blank, and I kept the colour combo to just red, white and black for maximum impact, using just red pearl and black textured pearl cardstock.  To add a little interest, I used a corner inverter and added some red mirri Card Candi and my usual ribbon a bow, made with Gorjuss ribbon.
